Durham, NC - Duke Divinity School will present a leadership conference Oct. 15-16 that explores the actions that seminaries and clergy can take to inspire and prepare leaders for ministry. 

"Form/Reform: Cultivating Christian Leaders" which will include lectures, seminars and worship, takes place at the Divinity School on Duke University's West Campus.  

Fuller Theological Seminary President Richard J. Mouw will deliver two lectures, drawing on his perspectives as leader of one of the largest multidenominational seminaries in the world. Mouw, a scholar in the field of Christian ethics and philosophy, is also president of the Association of Theological Schools.

Other participants include:
